Do you want to hire Indigenous Peoples and create a more Inclusive Workplace?
Individuals or groups from organizations and businesses are welcome to join on Thursday March 24th, 2022 from 1:00 pm (EST) to 2:30 pm (EST).
Join our event and learn where your organization or business is on the Inclusion Continuum. The enterprise-wide Workplace Inclusion System designed by Indigenous Works helps companies climb the seven-stage Inclusion Continuum by diagnosing the organizational competencies needed to achieve increased engagements and relationships with Indigenous Peoples, businesses and organizations. Stronger Indigenous employment and workplace outcomes will be realized.
Join us as Indigenous sketch comedy troupe Tonto’s Nephews bring each stage of the Inclusion Continuum to life live on stage, as they interpret the program and principals.
Tonto’s Nephews is an all-Indigenous troupe of professional actors, writers, and comedians that perform Improv and Sketch Comedy. A first-rate ensemble of professional comedians, the Nephews have been seen on stages across North America. They have also been featured in television and film productions such as The Royal Canadian Air Farce, The Rez, Dance Me Outside, GC Kids, Real Rez Blues, Due South, Northwood, and many more.
Joining Tonto’s Nephews for this exclusive AETS and Magnus Theatre event is special guest three-time Canadian Comedy Award winner, Lisa Merchant.
